My son is 9 1/2 years old. Has been having behavioral issues since before kindergarten, been hospitalized 3 different times from 1st grade and 2nd grade. Last year 3rd grade seemed to have gotten better. but before school ended last year (2months) things started to get bad again and just continue to get worse.
He has been on tons of medication. Right now taking lithium, vyvanse, buproprion(sp?) clonazepam, tenex (for tics) , his tics seem to be getting worse again and his anger is just out of control. We have tried so many adhd meds (dr.s said vyvanse was the last one they could offer to him) cuz he just can't stop he goes and goes and goes, tried a few different meds for his mood, and some depression meds. He is diagnosed ADHD, Opositional Defiance disorder, Mood Disorder NOS, Depression (they said they wont call it bi-polar right now because he is too young) anxiety disorder.
I just dont know how to help him or even what meds would work. He is a very loving boy but that can turn on a dime. he has started fires at home and at school in the past. he beats on his cousin and us. I'm very concerned and dont know what to do anymore for him. Please help if you can!
